I'm building Journoo, an Ai-native journaling/diary app as an intelligent companion and memory repository for mental well-being, accountability, seeing patterns, critical thinking, processing thoughts/feelings, making better decisions, thinking of others, creativity, help staying focused on long-term aim/goals, and documenting and remembering your life - all according to your core values (via text, voice, and image).

Basically a productivity tool for making sense of reality and living your best life.

I love making something truly valuable and it's also a crash course on AI product/app development. Absolutely having the time of my life and am so grateful to be on this path!

Flutter with iOS and Android this summer. Desktop and Apple Watch soon.

This is exactly my experience about the lack of enforcement of basic traffic laws.

I care little about speeding, but red lights being run is unacceptably dangerous and needs to stop.

Not sure it would yield any useful results, but have been thinking about a no-index search engine for a while to help find obscure or otherwise hidden information. If one exists or you build one let me know.

"The Century Of The Self" by Adam Curtis is a great documentary series on Bernays and the PR industry he invented. Gets scary towards the end when you realize that mainstream political discourse is now managed using the same PR methods that took over the business world a generation before.
